Automotive Defect Accident Litigation in Texas

Posted By Stephen Stewart || 5-Jun-2015

Millions of automobiles have been recalled in recent years for
dangerous defects. Although auto manufacturers offer to fix these defective cars for free,
certain percentage of them will never get fixed, meaning that these defective
cars will continue to endanger American consumers on Texas roadways.

Defects in automobiles can affect virtually every part of a car, but the
most dangerous defects are the ones that hinder vital safety, braking,
lighting and steering systems. For example, millions of cars are still
on the road with defective airbags that could fail to inflate in the event
of a collision. Other problems relating to cars include faulty door latches,
fuel systems that could catch on fire, defective seats, seat belt problems,
faulty ignition systems, car seat issues and sport utility rollovers issues.

General Motor's defective
ignition switch recall is one of the most noteworthy in recent years. The recall affected a total
of 27 million automobiles. The problem relates to the possibility that
the ignition switch could move into the off position while the vehicle
is in motion. Moving the ignition switch to "off" results in
the power steering, power brakes and airbags being deactivated. Clearly,
that is a very dangerous situation when the vehicle is in motion, and
it has thus far caused many injurious and deadly crashes.
